About KB Financial Group
KB Financial Group is Korea’s leading financial institution with the largest customer base and the most extensive branch network in the country. With total assets exceeding US$342 billion, the Group wields a solid capital prowess and enjoys a strong brand loyalty. As of December 2012, the Group has ten domestic subsidiaries--banking, credit cards, securities, life insurance, asset management, real estate trust, venture capital, credit information, data system, and savings bank--and four overseas subsidiaries in Hong Kong, England, Cambodia, and China. KB Financial Group was established in September 2008 with extensive stock transfers from major subsidiary companies. The Group’s establishment was to better deal with such fundamental changes in the financial markets at home and abroad as the rapid globalization of financial service, a declining profitability of traditional banking operations, new industry regulations, and an increasing demand for comprehensive financial services.
